Resonant Acoustic Mixing (RAM) technology, an emerging blade-free full-field mixing method developed by ResoDyn Corporation in Montana, USA, offers significant advantages over conventional mixing techniques by eliminating blade-induced material shear and substantially reducing mechanical stimulation. This innovative approach demonstrates exceptional potential for energetic material processing due to its unique combination of rapid mixing efficiency, superior homogenization performance, and minimized waste generation. Extensive international research has not only validated the technical feasibility of RAM but also facilitated its industrial implementation in specialized production scenarios. The following sections systematically present domestic and international advancements in RAM technology through comprehensive analysis of its operational principles, equipment configurations, and practical applications.
